To many reading modern poetry more interesting the meaning in the metaphors they seek to find <br />They feel it makes their brains work that much harder that it is good exercise for the mind <br />Rhyme for their great brains seems that bit too simple it does not test their thinking power at all <br />'Tis not a poem to them if it seems simple and the meaning in it easy to recall, <br />Yes rhyme for them it does seem that bit simple and deciphering it to them is not a test <br />The hidden meaning in the metaphors is something that does seem to try them best <br />Rhyme poetry to them is too simple and far too easy for to understand <br />It has to be blank verse with dozens of metaphors for their interest for to command <br />They look on rhyme and bush poets as inferior their preference in poets and poetry they make known <br />On literature they air their opinions like it is said to each their own <br />Their poetry evenings do seem quite exclusive rhyme poets to read they never do invite <br />Their unmusical lines that are laced with metaphors to each other they do recite <br />They do not like rhyme or they do not like bush poetry to them it is of another time <br />And in their poetry evenings there is no place for the men and the women of rhyme.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-moderns/
